I have the following .500+ caliber firearms:

1. H&H 8 bore double rifle.
2. AHR .600 OK bolt action rifle.
3. Heym .577 NE Sidelock double rifle.
4. Dorleac & Dorleac .500 Jeffery bolt action rifle.
5. Ryan Breeding .505 Gibbs bolt action rifle.
6. Martin Hagn .500 NE falling block single shot rifle.
7. S&W .500 Magnum revolver.

I am now 73 years old. I find that my enthusiasm for shooting these big bores is inversely proportional to my increasing age.

Buck,
I see a rather large gap betwixt the 12-bore and the signal gun. When are you getting an 8-bore and a 4-bore?? Inquiring minds want to know! pissers


Shoot the largest caliber you can shoot well, and practice, practice, practice.

Hello Wildcatter,

I bought some 8 bore brass in anticipation of finding one someday. Wink
